About Us

Experience the difference at Turning Point Dance, where big dreams are nurtured in our studios, and small classes foster excellence in dance education.

At Turning Point Dance, we have a rich history that started from small beginnings in Salisbury back in 1996. Since then, we have been dedicated to providing exceptional dance education in a nurturing environment. Specialising in classical ballet, we also offer classes in contemporary, jazz, tap, and acro. Our mission is to prioritise the physical and emotional wellbeing of our dancers, encouraging them to strive for their personal best while fostering a non-competitive and friendly atmosphere.

We firmly believe in the capabilities and competence of children. That's why we create a unique learning environment that focuses on building their self-esteem and confidence. With our small class sizes, we ensure that each student feels valued and receives individual attention. From a young age, we teach children to listen and follow instructions, while nurturing their creativity, musicality, and coordination.

Coming from small beginnings in Salisbury in 1996, Turning Point Dance takes great pride in its reputation as a leading ballet and dance institution in Adelaide and Australia. Located in our custom-built premises in Thebarton, our studio warmly welcomes students of all genders, ages, and levels of experience. We start accepting students as young as two and a half years old, and provide a progressive path through advanced levels as they mature. We also have carefully structured programs designed for adult students with varying levels of experience, as well as beginners in their teenage years.

We strongly believe in the power of performance to shape a dancer's identity. That's why we offer valuable opportunities for our students to showcase their talents, including a theatre production and multiple demonstration days throughout the year for parents to view their progress. Additionally, we provide mentoring and preparation for those who wish to participate in prestigious examinations such as the Australian Conservatoire of Ballet and the Royal Academy of Dance.

Whether you are seeking recreational dance lessons or aspiring to pursue dance as a career, Turning Point Dance offers a wide range of classes from Kinderballet to Adults that cater to your desires without compromising the quality of tuition.

Whether you seek high quality tuition with career options or simply an outlet for fun and extra confidence for your child, Turning Point Dance is a school of integrity and standing.

A strong, smart choice in dance education.
